President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine faces a pivotal choice between standing up for its sovereign rights and preserving the US support it needs, as leaders discuss the deal which is seen as favouring Russia.

With a range of up to 500 kilometres, the Taurus missile is considered long-range but so far the current German government, much like its predecessor, has refused to supply them to Ukraine.

“Ukraine may now face a very difficult choice: either loss of dignity, or the risk of losing a key partner,” Ukrainian president said on Friday, as Kyiv is “under tremendous pressure” over the latest draft proposal by the US and Russia, which mainly includes concessions from Ukraine and not Russia.

A Russian glide bomb hit Zaporizhzhia, killing five and damaging apartments and a market. Another drone attack injured five in Odesa.

Zelenskyy did not reveal the content of the proposal, which reportedly repeats Moscow's long-standing demands and would push Kyiv to make concessions.

Pilots, technicians and support teams rehearse the types of operations France may be called upon to conduct in a rapidly deteriorating international security landscape.

Moscow’s plan for Ukraine, reportedly recently presented to the US, repeats most of the Kremlin’s maximalist demands, including Kyiv ceding its territory and Ukraine’s demilitarisation. What is new about this alleged framework is the timing of Russia's push for it.

Residential buildings in Ternopil have been badly damaged in Russia's latest aerial attack against Ukraine overnight on Wednesday. The rescue operation is ongoing as people are still being trapped under debris.

Russian drones struck the Kharkiv region for a third night in a row, and also targeted the western cities of Lviv and Ternopil, prompting Poland to close two airports and deploy jets to secure Polish airspace.

While speculation has been rife in some Italian papers about the reasons behind Zelenskyy not making a stop in Italy, one senior researcher in comments to Euronews said the reason was probably far more mundane.

Ukraine’s president is to go to Ankara in hopes of rebooting talks with Russia and putting an end to Moscow’s full-scale invasion. Yet the Kremlin said no Russian representatives will participate in the meeting.

Russian forces launched a barrage of drones at Ukraine's Dnipro overnight, injuring two people and damaging the newsroom of public broadcaster Suspilne.

The deal comes after several drone sightings that disrupted Belgian airports, military bases and a nuclear plant over the last month.

Over 70,000 women serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, nearly 20,000 of them in combat positions. Euronews met with three Ukrainian servicewomen who did not have to stay in the country amid war, yet chose to join the army “because there is just one homeland”.

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy signed a landmark deal in Paris on Monday to buy 100 Rafale jets, drones, and air defence systems from France.

US lawmakers are drafting a bill that would sanction countries purchasing Russian oil and gas, aiming to choke off Moscow’s primary revenue stream as peace negotiations remain stalled.

At least three people were killed and 11 injured in a Russian missile strike on Balakliya in the region of Kharkiv. Four minors were among the wounded.

The former US Secretary of State has been announced as a member of the advisory board of Ukraine’s defence company Fire Point amid an anti-corruption investigation that is allegedly probing the Flamingo missile producer and its possible links to a large-scale corruption scheme.

The President of Ukraine is expected to visit Athens on Sunday. As analysts say Zelenskyy’s visit to Greece is likely tied to developments in the energy sector.
